Where is this setting so I can see what apps are always running. This use to be in apps settings on my other phones but can't find it on my nexus.

You need to enable developer settings and it's near the top of there!

I have enabled location sharing from settings since I frequent use my phone for turn-by-turn voice directions and some pedometer-like apps to count my activity. I also like some Google Now functionality that enabling location access gives.
However, besides disabling this setting system-wide, it seems that the Facebook app always shares my location when I post status updates - and I find that extremely annoying. I scanned all app settings and could not find a way to disable location sharing from Facebook.
My question - is there anyway I can keep the system-level setting while preventing Facebook app from accessing location? I have not rooted my phone (Nexus 4) but will be willing to do so if that can help me with this problem.. Any suggestions?
Doesn't the LBE security software allow you to set permissions on a per app basis? I think you need to search for it on xda for the translated version.
Facebook doesn't share my location each update, I just checked a bunch of previous ones and they don't mention it at all.
Thanks!! LBE seems like it might do the trick... Will root my phone tomorrow morning and put lbe.

Rusty try checking in to some place once. After that it will always share your location for all posts you make. I checked in one without knowing this‚ and there is no way to undo it after.

Its under settings in the Facebook app
I don't see it under settings... Can you please elaborate? The only setting I see is for sharing location on Chat/messenger but that does not change the location sharing behavior on regular posts.
Any way‚ I rooted the phone but lbe privacy does not work with jelly beans (soft reboot on startup - several recent reviews on play store also says that).. So for now after resetting the phone I've not used the checkin feature on Facebook.. It's a bad workaround and I hope LBE fixes it's jelly bean issues soon.
Thanks again

Is it possible to disable apps getting access to location individually?
If I turn on location Facebook seems eager to always wanting to know my location. And it also says high battery usage.

If you go to settings > location access. you can turn it off though this turns if off for all apps.

I'm setting up my Nexus 6P and see this option that says I can transfer stuff from my old android to my new one but when I open Google App and go to settings I cannot find anything called "search for nearby device"...where is it? Also, is this feature in just Lollipop and higher?
I believe it is only available on Lollipop and Marshmallow, and might only be part of the initial setup of the phone. I don't know if you can invoke it manually.
It's at the bottom of Google app settings.
Edit: Correction - go to Settings>Google, and it's near the bottom.

Settings, Google, Set up nearby device
Well, if it is only in Lollipop and above that would explain why I can't find it on my Note 3 running Biggins final KitKat release then Oh well, I just backed everything up with Titanium Backup and transferred that to my Nexus 6P and retrieved my stuff from there. Thanks all!
I seen a setting to assign apps to use pin or fingerprint to open, but I can't find it now. Can someone tell me what setting that's under?

It's in the boost+ app under 'lock apps'. But if you're on a custom ROM, some may have determined it bloatware and removed it.

@chavist
Looking into that myself,but,in the meantime,I found an app (QSlide Notes) that you can add to it simply by d/l from the Google Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zero.qslide.notes&hl=en
you need to go to the settings of the nav bar and put the button to get all of the available apps. they only have like 5 or 6 LG ones
